@xburak 200,000, are you crazy?!

a fax app is doing $200k/month. yes, fax. in 2026. the product is stupid simple. upload doc → type number → send. that's it. but think about the user for a sec. they need to fax something important RIGHT NOW. no fax machine. no time to figure out alternatives. paying $5 is just easier than thinking. i rebuilt the whole flow in superapp ai in 15 min. there's genuinely nothing to it. and that's the whole point: idea sounds boring product isn't impressive nobody brags about using it it just solves an annoying problem at the exact moment someone's willing to pay. founders keep chasing ideas that sound exciting. meanwhile boring apps like this quietly out-earn 99% of them. there are hundreds of outdated problems like faxing with terrible mobile solutions. go find one. you just need to ship it fast to App Store and do marketing.

@wiseenberg I am a bit confused how this actually works and if the user would understand it, but it looks cool!

@mxxfun Let's go inspiring to see

one week between "I should just get a job" and "I cant stop now." 2 weeks ago I was at 0€ revenue and close to giving up. months of building an app that went nowhere. 20 active users who seemed to love it, zero paying. years of side projects before that, all fun but broke. then I built something new in a week and it made money almost the same day. little under 200€ before spending anything on ads. no big exciting idea, just a concept thats already proven and trending, built my own way with taste and polish. its way simpler than I made it for years. the hard part is scaling this profitably now.

Sunflower reached $1 million ARR in 10 months. The sobriety app has an AI sponsor that handled 4 million messages. But its most important feature is still a simple counter showing how long someone has stayed sober. Its smartest growth move: Instead of sponsoring dozens of influencers, Sunflower hired the biggest creator in the sobriety niche as an employee. One creator now generates 50,000–100,000 clicks every month. Sometimes the best influencer deal is giving them ownership.

@tadasgedgaudas B2B mobile apps are diabolical!

a B2B mobile app makes $11k mrr something that's actually usable in the real world sell to service businesses who don't have a dedicated person for taking calls screenshot from appkittie.com

@designerants This is going to give a massive improvement in ASO!

Before → After This app didn't need more features. It needed App Store screenshots that made it impossible not to download.

@framara If your apps are genuinely good Just try every distribution channel until one works, and then just try and scale. Of course it's easier to say than actually do, but that's what I would do.

I've published 7 apps so far. I genuinely think most of them are good, or at least interesting: clear purpose, well built, well designed, user-focused. But so far, none has really achieved anything remarkable. I keep wondering: is it a distribution/reach problem, or am I completely biased about the quality of my own work?

@simulart What's the profit on these after ad spend?

@heyeaslo I am going to give it a try.

My notes app crossed 5,000 downloads!

@jacobrodri_ Mobile games are a small part of the total apps, but they take up almost 50% of all the revenue.

Now that building mobile games is easier than ever with Opus 5… Here are the 20 mobile games making the most money on the App Store to inspire your next idea:

@heysatya_ @SuperAppIOS This is actually something I would use.

$100k/m startup idea: People aren't going to stop eating fast food. So I built Cheat Day - an app that ranks every fast food so you always know the smartest thing to order. Designed in Figma. Built into a real app with @SuperAppIOS in just a few hours. Would you use it?

@nicholasnlawton Nice pitch

We do it the exact same way as everyone else Just use our own platform - no tricks We are living proof

@wilterrero Exactly!

app ratings below 3.8? 👀 here's how to pull more positive reviews for your app ask Claude/Codex/Cursor to implement this for you: 1. ask for review after "success moment" - when users complete a key action - after they've experienced your core value - when they're feeling accomplished 2. add a single question first - "Are you enjoying [App Name]?" - if YES → show rating prompt - if NO → Show feedback form 3. make the feedback form private - unhappy users vent to you, not the App Store - You still get valuable insights - Your public ratings stay high implemented on my own app, 4.6 with 600+ ratings

@IMadeAGlitch Internet money feels different.

App launched last week and first of magic internet money is coming in since updating onboarding :) Probably would be further along if we didnt keep messing with apple ads campaign. Its REALLY annoying that apple ads stop running for like 48 hours everytime you make a change.

This language-learning app reached $500,000/month within 14 months. All it does is let users practice real conversations with an AI tutor. Built from a college dorm. 3 million users. Zero paid ads. 400 million organic views in one month. The product is AI. The growth engine is content.

@buildwtim Nice, the growth trajectory looks insanely consistent!

I launched my first SaaS (DoCV) exactly one year ago. The Product Hunt launch wasn’t promising: just 3 votes. I had no audience, no community, no beta users and no waitlist. All I had were a few Reddit posts. A year later, it has passed $2.7k MRR - slow and steady Not a single user came from X. I didn’t even start using X until six months after launching. It’s been a rough year keeping it alive. Every user came through content, outreach and countless 1:1 conversations and now all from my own subreddit. The lesson? Be active where your users already live... not where the hype tells you to be.

@devflowtarik There are a lot of these calorie/fitness apps, but if you have superior distribution and a better product, you can definitely succeed! The reason there are a lot of these is also because people are using them and will pay.

Today I’m finally giving Apple Search Ads a real shot for my calorie & workout tracker. I’ve spent way more time building than marketing, so it’s time to find out if Apple Search Ads can become a sustainable growth channel. Here’s where I’m starting: • 178 active users • 135 new users in the last 28 days • 1 active subscriber • $3 MRR Nothing crazy yet, but every app starts somewhere. Over the next few weeks I’ll share the keywords, creatives, conversion rates, CAC, ROAS and everything I learn along the way. If you’ve successfully scaled with Apple Search Ads, what’s the biggest mistake I should avoid? 👇

@Sergio__bm This is a disturbing look into the future!

this fake dating app is doing $200k/month every match is ai you swipe, match, start chatting then the chat cuts off mid-reply to keep talking you pay or spend gems they’re not selling romance they’re selling the fear of being left on read by someone who isn’t even real and the creator didn’t even bother making proper app store screenshots they look straight up ai generated this niche is cooked
